Our wine experience tour with Vitor was the highlight of our Terceira trip! We loved it!! Vitor is so knowledgable about the history of the island and the wine! My father was stationed here during the war and Vitor made it even more special by taking us by the base and telling us about life on the island at that time. He stopped at some breathtaking spots to show us the beauty of the island. We ended our time at his house where his lovely wife had a delicious array of cheeses, local treats and delicious wines. We felt like we had made some new friends. I highly recommend this tour!

Excellent tour. Our guide...

Donna_K, Mar 2026

Excellent tour. Our guide went above and beyond to provide us with a very informative and fun tour. Our wine tasting was enhanced with information about the island, Azorean culture and a wonderful drive around the island. We highly recommend this tour with Victor as your guide!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Your kindness and words of support are a great deal to me. Talking about our wines and vineyards it's always a great pleasure to me. With a pleasent group like you was the icing on the cake.

***** Experience Terceira as a Local

Eric_S, Nov 2025

Surpassed all expectations. Victor is truly a gem, connects with clients and provides facts and interesting insights. The stops are well paced and enjoyable. Best part is the wine and food experience as final stop. Truly, an authentic and amazing experience. Can’t recommend enough.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Please accept my deepest gratitude for your kind words. Was a great pleasure hosting you. Regards, Victor

Amazing day on Terceira

Erika_D, Sep 2025

Victor is very fun and knowledgeable. We had a great time seeing sites, tasting wine and having some great food while learning about wine making and that Impala. Thank you, Victor!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

I’m truly grateful for your feedback. Was a great day for us also.

A must-do experience!

Tiffany1203, Feb 2025

This was a fantastic tour. Victor is a wonderful tour guide. His years of experience is evident with the level of customer service provided. After the driving tour and stops at several locations, he and Hélia took us into their home for a feast meats, cheeses, homemade jams, and dessert with a wonderful discussion of the country and its traditions. Victor has a couple different tours including a military history tour that we were able to get a little of just because of the questions we were asking. We absolutely recommend this experience.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

We are delighted to see such kind comments. All the best for you. Don't forget you reserved a seat for the street bullrun. Regards, Victor and Hélia

Don’t miss this tour. I enjoyed many things on the island of Terceira and this was my favorite.

Elizabeth_A, Sep 2024

Vitor was right on time, picking us up in front of our hotel. We shared the tour with one other young couple from Utah. The tour was the best food tour that I have ever taken, and I have taken many in various countries. Vitor and his wife made the tour so special. First, we went to wine co-op and learned how wine was made. We visited the vines and had wonderful wild cherry tomatoes to munch on. The real highlight of the tour was what came next. Vitor took us to his house where his wife had prepared wonderful tapas for us to enjoy with the wine we sampled. The wine was great as was the food. We were served jams, and liquors made from the grapes in Vitor’s garden. But the most delightful thing of all was visiting with Vitor and his wife for three hours while we enjoyed food and wine. I highly recommend taking this tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

I’m delighted to see such kind comments. Another great day making new friends. Thank you, Victor and Hélia.

Outstanding time with Vitor on his wine immersion tour

Michael_D, Aug 2024

Spending a few days on Terceira and wanted to see areas outside of Angra. I found Vitor's wine immersion tour and had a great time with him and a few other guests. Biscoitos was beautiful and the wine museum there was a great introduction to the island's wine making and history. Vitor was conversational and provided a lot of great information. We spent the latter part of the tour in Vitor's courtyard having delicious snacks (breads, cheeses, and meats) and enjoying more of the local wine. The rose and white wines were a delight, as were the sweet cake his wife made and the dessert wines/liqueurs. I can't wait to come back and visit with Vitor again!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you Michael, I wish we can have you again visiting our island. Was a wonderful group, a great party.

FANTASTIC TOUR!!!!

Alice_R, Jun 2024

Wonderful Experience- food, wine and culture- a must!

HPARK13, May 2024

Can’t say enough great things about our tour and time with Victor! Superb way to spend the afternoon - learning about the wines of the Azores, the culture surrounding bull runs and the food that Azorians enjoy. It was incredible to spend time with Victor and his amazing wife at their home. Eating, drinking and learning about the wonderful culture on the island. Victor is an awesome host and I highly recommend this experience.

More than just a wine tour!

Michael_T, May 2024

I would highly recommend any tour with Victor. My wife and I chose this wine tour and our expectations were exceeded. Along with the wine and a wonderful tour of some of Terceira's hot spots, we had some delicious snacks and got a bit of a history lesson along the way. Thank you Victor!!

Best way to tour!

John_H, Apr 2024

Victor was an excellent tour guide. Super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and just fun to be around. The "wine tasting and food" at the end of the tour is at the family's barbecue area. The food and wine were delicious, and the family superb! We will be back!

Highly Recommend

LINDA_S, Aug 2023

Wonderful Tour!

Cheryl_C, Aug 2022

Vitor was so knowledgeable and entertaining as he shared stories of vineyards, wines and history. The visit to his home for wine tasting and exquisite hors d'oeuvres made this a wonderful and memorable experience

Response from Host, Aug 2022

I am going to hire you as tour entertainers, it was a wonderful day, all the best for you.

Great tour of an amazing island

Bob_M, May 2022

We have nothing but positive things to say about our tour with Victor. We (family of 4 with adult kids) booked as a group and we’re the only 4 on the tour. Picked us up in front of apartment rental and off we went. It was our first day on Terceira and we have found a private tour to be the best way to get to an overview of a new place. this did not disappoint. We saw all the spots on the itinerary, Victor offered great insight and conversation and he really knew the area. The day was capped off with food and drink back at his house with amazing stories of life on the island, the festival culture, and the bull fights in the street (with videos of the annual event in front of their house, CRAZY!). Victor and his wife were so welcoming, we feel like we now have friends on Terceira and a reason to be back for the bull fight in August (if only we could). Thank you again.

Response from Host, May 2022

Brave and nice family, direct from the airport to the first tour. Was a pleasure having you onboard our tour. I konw one day you will come to the street bullfight. I will keep always 4 extra seats at the table just in case you show up. All the best for you

Amazing wine, food, and people!

Samantha_S, Apr 2022

Vitor and his wife were amazing hosts! This experience take you around the island with a local to see the wine museum and other beautiful sites. Vitor makes his own wines and a beautiful spread of local apps which were so delicious. We met some really cool people on the tour and the group is very small. I highly recommend this experience for anyone who is looking for a more personal and unique experience!!
